KAISERSLAUGHTERIN II - Metalcore Night at Cotton Club

ALTERED REBIRTH
Have you ever wondered what it would sound like if your dreams had a soundtrack? The German metalcore band "Altered Rebirth" definitely provides an answer. They fuse wonderful cinematic atmospheres and dreamy melodies with a horrifying brutality, creating a heavenly nightmare that one can never get enough of. In 2024, they released their debut EP "Reaching Moonlit Salvation," which quickly enchanted listeners across Germany with their unique soundscapes. The second EP "Nethersun" further develops this sound and keeps everyone moving, establishing Altered Rebirth as a worthy headliner. They round everything off with lyrics from the deepest, darkest corners of the mind, pulling everyone deep into their world. It’s something you cannot escape from... something you don’t want to escape from - Stay until dawn in this eternal night.

DESIGNED TO FAIL
Designed to Fail is an emerging four-member modern metal band from Southwest Germany (Trier & Kaiserslautern). Their music blends djent, deathcore, and progressive death metal, effortlessly transitioning between powerful riffs and dark atmospheres. What began in 2019 as a solo project by Anthony Dordell in the studio quickly evolved with vocalist Steven D. Mauro during early releases such as the Self-Destruct Trilogy (2020-21) and the single Blood Moon. Since then, the band has solidified its lineup with Öykü Ilgar on guitar, Charles Cawley on drums, and Matthew Young handling songwriting and production. With singles like "Smoke and Mirrors" and "Note to Self," they maintain the momentum and released their album Scars to Remember in 2024 — a powerful mix of raw emotion and modern heavy deathcore. After Charles moved to the USA, Austin Pease took over drumming in 2025, bringing fresh energy to the band.

BURY THE LIAR
With passion, presence, and a distinctive touch, Germany's leading metalcore band Bury The Liar fearlessly steers into a new era of music. Stylishly, the band combines metallic nostalgia with a clear identity in structure, theme, and voice. Their music reflects a fine sense for evolution — with essential dynamics of strength, reflection, and determination at its core. Just two months after their formation in 2019, the debut single "Wolf Unter Schafen" conquered the airwaves. The piece impresses with the unique contrast between ethereal synths, atmospheric soundscapes, and the explosive force of a powerful metalcore sound. The gripping anthem quickly sparked enthusiasm. The response was clear; the band’s talent and experience shone brightly — and the song has since recorded over 175,000 streams on Spotify alone. In spring 2020, the debut EP "Self Made" was released, featuring Fronzilla (Attila, USA). In 2021, "Feuer" followed as a self-produced release, regarded as the sonic forerunner of the evolving sound and future of Bury The Liar. In winter 2023, the band presented their latest EP "Of Dreams and Damage," weaving raw metalcore energy with deeply moving melodies and uncompromising breakdowns — impressively underscored by the video for "Cloudmaker." With over 400,000 views on YouTube and consistently high-quality, captivating videos, Bury The Liar proves to be an uncompromising force in the scene. Blessed with a distinctive voice and bold, creative arrangements, their sound remains versatile yet firmly rooted in the fire and determination of metalcore.

GOUGE
The heavy hitters GOUGE DE roll over everything that stands in their way with their brutal and relentless sound. With their debut LOVE, the band unleashes a wave of frustration, pain, and torment—long suppressed and now finally breaking free from a dark mental state. Founded in 2025, GOUGE DE came into being with a clear goal: to channel the fight against inner demons through pure aggression in music. Their sound reflects the frustration, sleepless nights, and inner struggles that people experience during mental crises. The raw intensity of their songs offers a moment of liberation while simultaneously bringing important mental health issues into focus.
